39 minute listenAlonso was born in Mexico and immigrated with his family to the United States as a child. He shares his experience of living undocumented in the United States. Under the Obama administration, he applied for DACA and became DACAmented. However, there were still constraints to living with an undocumented status that influenced his decision to leave the United States and find a home for himself elsewhere. He now lives and works in France."Over time, I realize it's the US context that constrains me is the US context that prevents me from finding a job. Of course, there were many resources that I was able to tap into in the US but there were a lot of constraints as well afterwards. So that's the idea of how it came up, well, if I can make it in the US I'm pretty sure there are other countries where I can try and, you know, find a job and basically live a normal life. Not a life that is kind of a second class citizen of the United States, not a life in the shadows, a life, you know, a life without fear." ~ Alonso Episode Resources DACA and Dreamers, American Council on Education, 2022Undocumented Americans.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Educators and Immigration. It has been a while since I have released an episode. The reason is because I was traveling with our guests for today Erika Rosales and Yesenia Villalpando-Torres. We are the steering committee for the Mexico International Study Opportunity for Learning (MISOL) program and this December and January, we had a cohort of 18 participants who traveled to Mexico for a life-changing opportunity.  Erika and Yesenia are strong activists for the immigrant community at the local, state, and national levels. They are always looking for ways to support undocumented, DACAmented, and immigrant populations.  Erika Rosale is the Director for the Center for DREAMers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and she was a guest on this podcast back in episode 009 where we discussed the Center and all the amazing work they are doing.

Dominican University is unique among Catholic colleges for its commitment to immigrants. About 10 percent of the students at Dominican University are undocumented or have temporary legal status, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. This episode features an interview with Donna Carroll, president of Dominican University. She reflects on the challenges facing undocumented college students, including: lack of federal financial aid funding, the difficulty of career planning, and integrating into campus life. She also talks about the leadership of undocumented and “DACAmented” students and why the university adopted a Sanctuary Campus Covenant in 2017. Carroll describes the university’s efforts to support immigrant students during the “triple pandemics” of COVID-19, racism, and economic injustice — all of which have been exacerbated by restrictionist immigration policies.

In this episode, Polanco talks about how she’s using her entrepreneurial mindset to shift from short-term coping mechanisms to long-term pivot strategies.

Today on 30 Minutes, our multipart series continues with excerpts from Living DACAmented with Tucson based organizer and activist Jessica Rodriguez. This presentation was just weeks before the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump Administration’s efforts to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Up first, Migrant Trail Organizing Committee Member Kat Rodriguez introduces Jessica Rodiguez. Jessica Rodriguez is a Tucson based organizer and activist. Currently, she is the Lead Organizer for the Southside Worker Center. The Southside Worker Center supports a community of worker-leaders building collective power and raising the standards of worker conditions so that workers can take part in dignified work and earn just wages. Throughout her work at the Southside Worker Center, Jessica has helped to recover thousands of dollars in wages for workers, stop criminalization, detention, and deportations of families, defend the rights migrant workers and develop migrant-led worker-owned cooperatives. For the Virtual Migrant Trail, Jessica shared her personal experience as a DACA recipient in Arizona. Since 2004, a group of committed people has coordinated an annual week-long, 75-mile walk from Sásabe, Sonora, Mexico to Tucson, Arizona to call for an end to migrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border and to stand in solidarity with victims of global migration. In May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, participants were unable to physically unite to remember those who have died crossing To continue to raise awareness about migrant deaths and to help raise money for local border justice organizations, organizers launched an alternative Migrant Trail Walk experience to bring people together in a virtual environment. Proceeds benefitted: BorderLinks, the O’Odham Anti-Border Collective, Keep Tucson Together, and the No More Deaths Emergency COVID-19 Bond Fund. The Migrant Trail 2020 Alternative experience included a week of daily reflections, videos, podcasts, and featured speakers. This has been part 6 of a multipart series. You can learn more about The Migrant Trail on their website and their Facebook group. Edited and produced by Amanda Shauger with audio provided by the Migrant Trail Organizing Committee.

Growing up in “Chocolate City”—as DC was affectionately called, pre-gentrification—St Clair was surrounded by Black excellence. And by “Black excellence” this doesn’t exclusively refer to the Black people who “make it out of the hood”; but also referring to the Black neighbors who fed others when times were rough, to the next-door neighbor Sheila who cornrowed hair for all the little girls on Meridian Place, to the single Black mothers on the block who successfully, lovingly raised their kids—and then their grandkids—on their own.St. Clair was educated (outside of the classroom) by other students of color who protested a campus presentation, and it was then that she realized the importance of fighting for justice and opposing inequalities. From them, St. Clair learned the importance of speaking up against injustice.St. Clair toured (and still occasionally do, upon request) with DACAmented on college and high school campuses across the country.When St. Clair studied abroad in Ecuador in 2016, she worked closely with one of her professors to create a curriculum for her semester entitled “Black Bodies in the Latin American Diaspora,” which gave her the chance to travel around Ecuador to meet with Black communities, which in turn expanded her ideas of Blackness (and, of course, hair was a part of her studies). Further, St Clair was also able to take courses across a broad range of disciplines—in the Ethnic Studies, Africana Studies, Philosophy, Anthropology, Modern Culture and Media, and Visual Arts departments, all of which have given her the traditional academic background necessary to create this project—and especially to edit, organize, and arrange the far-ranging narratives which comprise Dear Khloe.We talk about all the things including growing up in a Black and Brown neighborhood, growing up with two cultures, and natural hair for Black women.Follow St. Clair on all things social:https://www.sdjcinema.com/https://www.dearkhloe.com/https://www.instagram.com/stclairdetrickjules/https://www.instagram.com/dear_khloe/ Follow Cafe con Pam on all things socialInstagramFacebookhttp://cafeconpam.com/Findmypowersister.com Join FREE online Recovering Procrastinator Manis Community! stayshining.clubFor the Small Biz Support Program head over to www.spreadideasmovepeople.com/sbspSubscribe, rate, review, and share this episode with someone you love!And don't ever forget, to Stay Shining!

In a new episode of KPBS' border podcast "Only Here," we continue our series on border art with a mural that's broadcasting the voices of deportees and those commonly known as DREAMers, children brought to the U.S. illegally as children. From heart-wrenching stories about parents being deported and separated from their kids to first-hand accounts of what it’s like to start a new life in a new country, the mural painted on the actual border fence uses technology to share stories of deportation and struggle. You can hear the stories when you walk up to the mural in Playas de Tijuana. It's painted on the actual border fence, and you can use your phone to scan black-and-white QR codes printed on little stickers stuck to the mural. Scanning the stickers takes you to YouTube videos. The stories you'll hear in the videos are from two digital storytelling archives: Humanizing Deportation: http://humanizandoladeportacion.ucdavis.edu/en/ Dacamented: https://dacamentedarchive.com/ The Playas de Tijuana Mural Project is by artist, scholar and activist Lizbeth De La Cruz Santana. More about the project here: https://lizbethdelacruzsantana.com/mural-project About the Show: “Only Here” is about the unexplored subcultures, creativity and struggles at the U.S.-Mexico border. The KPBS podcast tells personal stories from people whose lives are shaped by the tension reverberating around the wall. This is a show for border babies, urban explorers or those who wonder what happens when two cultures are both separated and intertwined.

*Repost of previously posted episode.* There will be no new episode, but Patreon members stay tuned to hear about what I'll be doing in my absence. This past September U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end of an Obama era executive order. That announcement changed the lives of 800,000 young adults. One of those young adults is this episode's guest. Marisol Estrada is a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient living in Georgia. On this episode, we chat about her experiences in the South, the process she went through to become DACAmented, what that meant to her and how the Trump administration’s decision to end DACA in March of 2018 will impact the future of those who benefited from the program.  The Who’s that lady (from history)? is Fannie Lou Hamer, an activist from Mississippi.    Social Media Contact:  Twitter: @elly_marisol Facebook: Marisol Estrada or Georgia Undocumented Youth Alliance

St. Claire (@nooshiesushi) joined me to chat about her documentary, DACAmented, which highlights stories of immigrants who are affected by DACA. We also talk about the project she created to help encourage her 5 year old sister and other black girls around the world to love her natural hair. That led to us talking about biracial children and identity issues, not being black enough and so much more. Please be sure to like, subscribe and share! Intro Song: India Arie "I am not my hair"

Nearly two years ago on January 26, 2016, Life of the Law presented Un-DACA-mented, a report on the Obama Administration's DACA Program, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The program, begun in 2012 offered undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children, a chance to defer deportation. Life of the Law producer Jonathan Hirsch traveled to Texas where he met Luis Morales, a young man who came to the US from Mexico with his family when he was eight years old. In 2015, with the help of his family and Jose "Chito" Vela, a local immigration attorney, Luis was sorting out DACA requirements and regulations, immigration enforcement and shifting American politics. Our story left off with Luis hoping Immigration authorities would favorably rule on a review of his case and grant him a DACA permit. Since we shared Luis's story, his immigration status and the DACA program have been in jeopardy. Throughout 2016, while campaigning for president, Donald Trump threatened to end the DACA program on his first day in office. On September 5, 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the Justice Department was ending the DACA program, but would give Congress six months to try and save the policy. Sessions also announced the Trump administration would not accept any new DACA applications, but would allow those already in the DACA program to apply for a two-year renewal if they applied by Thursday, October 5. Unless Congress acts to save the DACA program, the last permit will expire on March 5, 2020. This week on Life of the Law... we share Luis's story and at the end of the episode, talk to his attorney and his mother, to find out what has happened since we first met Luis two years ago. Production Notes: Life Un-DACAmented 2017 was reported by Jonathan Hirsch, with additional reporting by Nancy Mullane. This story was edited by Annie Avilés. Our post production editors are Kirsten Jusewicz-Haidle and Rachael Cain and our Senior Producer is Tony Gannon.  Music in this episode was from Blue Dot Sessions and Ian Coss.

On the Season 3 premiere of Immigration MIC, from Stamford, Connecticut (and yes, she’s met Triple H), welcome Aubrey to our show! Aubrey, from Ecuador is formerly “DACAmented” - she recently adjusted her status, but continues the fight for her community, which she has been involved in since high school. Growing up, she focused on studying, believing that through studying she wouldn’t need to worry about being undocumented (she was aware since third grade). She became heavily involved in advocacy in high school with a negative experience with a lawyer that “made things difficult” for her family, and claimed to have filed paperwork for Audrey that was non-existent. Audrey is a super talented poet and writer - we talk about two poems that caught my eye. One was about her confronting ICE through her words “the blood is on their hands, I’m not exaggerating”, and the second one “Alien Child” was about having others recognizing the humanity of immigrants. She recently also wrote an article that was a tribute to her parent’s sacrifices, interwoven with her family’s personal struggles, her regret for rebelling and upsetting them - but is working to make them proud, motivated by their story. In the near future, Aubrey hopes to learn about/ visit Ecuador for the first time, she continues to write every Wednesday on The Odessey, and the inspiring words she leave us with: “don’t give up. Things won’t be like this forever.” Thank you so much for joining me Audrey, you are resilient, inspiring, and your poetry and art is something I’m looking forward to daily!

With the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in limbo, our Associate Web Editor Dhanya Addanki talked to Patrice Lawrence and Mwewa Sumbwe of the UndocuBlack Network about what the end of DACA could mean. This network was founded by undocumented black immigrants who wanted to center the voices of black undocumented people that are often left out of the immigration conversation. Listen in as they explore the intersections of being black and undocumented in the U.S. and the struggles and joys those identities hold.

Cornell University student Paola Muñoz discusses her powerful Huffington Post piece, which talks about the emotional labor students of color face on the Ithaca campus. She will tell us why she chose to write this article and what students can do to have their voices heard. Later in the show, Lis-Marie Alvarado and 11-year-old Leah Cayasso join us to talk about the We Belong Together campaign. Leah is 11 years old and the daughter of undocumented parents and a DACAmented sister.

On episode #35 of Immigration with Tahmina which aired on 7.12.16, I have the honor of chatting with Saba Nafees is a member of the White House Initiative for on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Saba is a recipient of DACA- (deferred action for childhood arrivals- a program created by President Obama for undocumented children in the US). She is one of the first applicants of the program and a national advocate for DACA. Nafees is currently pursuing a PhD with research focused in mathematical biology at Texas Tech University after graduating in May of 2014 with a Bachelor’s in Mathematics with Highest Honors. To graduate with this distinction, she wrote an original Honors Thesis on her research. As an undergraduate, she conducted research with Dr. Sean Rice, a theoretical evolutionary biologist, through the TTU Howard Hughes Medical Institute Program. In her undergrad, she had the pleasure of founding multiple student groups such as the Mathematics Ambassadors and the first ever Define American chapter inspired by Jose Antonio Vargas to encourage DACAmented youth in West Texas. She is also at the forefronts of entrepreneurship efforts at Tech and abroad, helping lead the Texas Tech Innovation Mentorship & Entrepreneurship program and is currently involved in implementing a business plan for Tibetan refugees in India and Nepal. During the past school year, she served as the Student Government Vice President for Graduate Affairs at Texas Tech along with continuing to serve as a One Young World Ambassador. Saba talks about why DACA has been important in her life and why it is important to all Desi folks. This is a great interview with someone is an example of what immigrants have to offer in America!
